Coachella

Coachella

When: Apri1 12-14, April 19-21

Where: Indigo, CA

The Low-Down: Music-lovers get down and dirty, camping out at Coachella to see huge acts including The Lumineers, Tegan and Sara, Beach House, plus 172 other bands. Pull out the tribal prints and get ready.

If You Can't Make It: Camp out with your friends and blast "Closer" by Tegan & Sara in your tent. Bonus points if you resist the urge to shower the next day.

Jazz Fest

Jazz Fest

When: April 26 – May 5

Where: New Orleans, LA

The Low-Down: Classic rock and Cajun food set Jazz Fest apart from the other festivals on this list. Legends like Patti Smith, Billy Joel, and B.B. King are all headlining, and so are Top 40 faves Maroon 5, Frank Ocean, and Dave Matthews Band.

If You Can't Make It: Invite your friends over and cook a yummy New Orleans-style dish like fried rice with okra and sausage. Play a jazz Pandora station while you're cooking, but after you eat it's party time—have everyone dance around and sing along to "Payphone" by Maroon 5.
